Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Saints: B.

The rest of the league had time to spare on DeMonte Capehart; the Saints did not wait, grabbing him 64 spots ahead at pick No. 203. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Simpson. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 14th pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick45 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Nice patience on Chop Robinson, who had no business lasting to the 45th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick136 Rnd4 James Williams
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and James Williams at the Round 4 slot is the proof. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick152 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson at slot 152 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick170 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
They went early on Justin Eboigbe in No. 170, and the value did not follow. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick176 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
They left a pile of value on the table to take Joshua Gray this early at Round 6, Pick 1. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick192 Rnd6 Zion Nelson
Zion Nelson at Round 6, Pick 17 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick203 Rnd6 DeMonte Capehart
They reached into another round for DeMonte Capehart, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
